Lord Geordie Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Holy crapola! Had a bit of a sore throat and dry cough yesterday at work! Now I am stuck in bed waiting for the Doc. Can't breath propperly like someone has broke my ribs then parked a car on my chest. Shivers, fever, egg yolk size brown phlegm being brought up. To cap it all off I am feeling like I am gonna be sick too Bit concerned actually as my Cousin DIED last week of Phneumonia at the ripe old age of 47. I had no contact with Her so I doubt I contracted that from her, but the symptoms bare uncanny likenesses. :o Not good. I have a Holiday coming up soon too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Perhaps you would be better off concentrating on breathing rather than posting on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well it seems I have a severe chest infection. Doc took a gander and a sound of my chest! Seems I have a severe congestion in both lungs! Been given a weeks course of a strong dose of Anti Biotics to try and kick it's ***. Apparently it will be days before I feel any benefits though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Amoxycillin 500mg tablets instead of the normal 250mg. I have a holiday booked in around four weeks and hope I feel better by then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artschool Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 antibiotics will soon be useless due to the amount of people taking them for trivial illnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 antibiotics will soon be useless due to the amount of people taking them for trivial illnesses. Believe you me I am not normally the person to turn to medication of any type. Headaches I just drink plenty water and sleep it off. Chest infections I just ride out. THIS is no normal infection. I have trouble breathing AND moving. In 40+ years I have NEVER experienced anything like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just getting over it myself, been 3 weeks now. I am never ill but this just hit me for 6. Tried to ride it out for 10 days but just got worse and worse, ended up seeing the Dr and he thought it was possibly pneumonia so put me on anti biotics and sent me for chest xrays. It turned out to be a nasty chest infection, but the Dr said he had seen a lot of people with it who had become severly ill and it had progressed to pneumonia. Still not 100% now and worse thing about it i had to cancel a long awaited trip wildfowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapalomablanca Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 my mate cracked a rib last year and had to 'shallow breathe' because of the pain. Consequently he developed pneumonia as he wasnt breathing correctly. Be careful, things can escalate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
